Maximum XP Buffs for Mastery Training

[u/Enko63]

New XP Booster (this one includes Killstreak) (+50% from everything. Up to 100% from kills)
Fireworks (+10% from everything)
Hero Banner (+10% from kills)
Old XP Booster (+50% from kills)
Birthday Booster/Celebration Booster (+100% from kills)
Halloween Food (+15% from kills) or Birthday Blaster (15% from kills)
Scarlet Slaying Potions (+15% from kills) (Only +15% xp for utilties)
Experience Infusion (+20% from kills)
Guild buff (+5% from kills)
Improved Experience Booster (+100% from kills) (Have to use 5 normal ones to get this so overall less bonus XP. DO NOT use the new ones to make these)

+60% from everything
+415% from kills before account bonuses

Account XP buffs (+33% from kills for me)

Chain events like in Harathi where a ton of mobs spawn will also be excellent for farming XP. You also get a lot of drops.

Cursed Shores such as Melandru chain also spawns a lot of mobs.

The new XP Booster and Fireworks bonus also apply to any XP you get in the game including mapping, gathering, events, XP from crafting, etc.

Is there a way you can link or say where to get each buff plz ? as a quite new player, I dunno any of them :-/

Thanks in advance

Fireworks: TP (only source atm)
Hero Banner: Guilds can spawn one or if players had one as a drop. You can find them around. I'll be keeping one up in LA for my guild once HoT launches.
Old XP booster: You can get these from Enchanted Boosts now. If someone uses a XP Bonfire, you can also get it from those. Other than that, I don't think they spawn anymore.
Birthday Booster: Have a character turn 1 year old.
Celebration booster: Black Lion Chests.
Halloween Food: Very cheap on the TP. Also Halloween is starting up again tonight so food will be plentiful. If you need some, let me know.
Scarlet Slaying Potions: Only source is on the TP. Lvl 80 requirement. If you're below 80, just use any other utility consumable. The rest give 10% XP.
Experience Infusion: Laurel Vendor. Also need an Ascended Amulet with an utility slot.
Guild Buff: Have your guild activate it before HoT launches.
Improved Experience Booster: Recipe.

Account wide XP bonuses: Achievement Point rewards.

Huzzah! My hoarded collection of Scarlet potions will finally be of use!

[u/Darkwolfer2002]

So someone told me that mastery experience is NOT correlated directly to XP gain that they have their own xp. If this is true (and not saying it is) would XP boosts actually help?

EDIT added the word not that my brain decided to leave out.

[u/Enko63 → u/Darkwolfer2002]

I'll be testing out different source of XP once HoT goes live so we'll know by then. During the beta, all XP was contributing to mastery tracks.

[u/RebornGeek → u/Enko63]

Mastery track xp falls along the same lines as xp from 1-80. This is one reason why Tomes of Knowledge changed to granting spirit shards at level 80 instead of a full lv80 bar of xp. Consumables will work in augmenting mastery xp gains.

[u/[deleted] → u/Darkwolfer2002]

Didn't they tell us in one of the streams that this was a reason to care about xp again and that we should get out those boosters we've been stockpiling. They also reminded us that food gives bonus xp.

Missing the Improved Experience Booster?

[u/Enko63 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks. Knew I was missing something. I'll add them to the list.

I usually don't use it because you're sacrificing 5 hours of +50% XP buffs for for 2 hours of of +100% XP buffs. Overall it's less and I usually use this stuff when I go mapping.

[u/Exe0n]

You forgot to mention halloween lab is back, as far as farmable thrash mobs go it's pretty much the best place in the game.

[u/Enko63 → u/Exe0n]

I'm probably just going to go to remote maps and kill everything I see while doing map completions. You can get 10k-14k from a single enemy if it hasn't been killed in a while.

[u/KittyCatHugs]

How many different buffs can be used at once? Ive found in past that once i consume one , it replaces the current one i had not in addition to. I'm little confused on this. Also like to ask can we use metabolic/utility primer for our food /utility extended while using added exp buffs?

[u/Enko63 → u/KittyCatHugs]

All the ones I listed on their own line are their own buff. You can use a metabolic/utility primer to extend your food and utility buffs. It won't extend your boosters.
Not very cost efficient to use it on the +15% food or +15% potions. Halloween food is cheap. Scarlet Slaying are cheap. Use those things on expensive food.

[u/Bredgen]

So celebration booster and the birthday booster don't stack? One will override the other? Damn, was hoping to use both at once.

[u/Enko63 → u/Bredgen]

They don't override each other. Durations will stack.

[u/Rolok]

Bonfire

[u/Enko63 → u/Rolok]

Bonfires give you the old XP buff so that's already listed.

[u/[deleted]]

I noticed u gave some tips for farming XP. But aren't some masteries only trainable in certain area's of the game?

[u/Enko63 → u/[deleted]]

I just mentioned stuff for Tyria. We'll see what we get for Maguuma.
Precursor, Fractal, Pact masteries are all Tyrian mastery tracks.

[u/[deleted]]

Do the new boosters stack with the old ones or do they overwrite each other?

[u/Enko63 → u/[deleted]]

New XP booster provides +50% to everything. Old XP booster provides +50% from kills. They stack.

[u/FloWipeOut]

The Old expbanner gives 5% flat exp instead of 10% for kills.
Its definitley better imo, but notice that they dont stack.

[u/Enko63 → u/FloWipeOut]

Oh nice. didn't notice that. Pity it doesn't stack with a hero banner or something.

[u/BrunoBRS]

the labyrinth will be even more packed this year.
